On a porphyry rock over 70 meters high stands the legendary "Hochsteiner Kreuz". From there, the view extends to the charming village of Hochstein, idyllically situated in a valley basin.

On a more than 70 m high porphyry rock stands the legendary "Hochsteiner Kreuz". From there, the view leads to the charming little village of Hochstein, idyllically located in a valley basin.

Hochstein (about 500 inhabitants) was, since its origin until the revolutionary wars at the end of the 18th century, an integral part of Winnweiler and is again today.
